Web Based Calculus Applications
Created and designed by Professors Carol G. Crawford and Mark D. Meyerson.
These labs will give students a hands-on preparation for several calculus topics.
A recent browser is required (e.g., Netscape 4.6 or I.E. 5.0).
Each of these nine modules consists of a front page "experiment" (Java applet) to acquaint the student with the concept, together with links to four other pages:
- A lab report allowing for the self testing of introductory ideas.
- A math review summarizing the mathematical background involved.
- An other applications page giving some more applications of the topic.
- A survey asking for some feedback on the success of that module.
The Labs:
- Waves
- Parachute
- Diving Tower
- Radar
- Related Rates
- Area of Deck
- Volume of Wing
- Torque wrench
- Hill
